Please read the current update for instructions on downloading the latest update. Players with Mac versions of the game will not be affected, but you will have a slightly longer wait for your version of the new maps. Please make a copy of your character folder before running the new update, just to make sure you don't lose any of your custom work.

It looks like we can give everyone a list of minimum specs for running City of Titans. Please keep in mind that this is 'for now' until we are able to add more graphics and other system refinements. Currently you will need :
Windows 10 or later required; no Intel integrated graphics like UHD, must have AMD or NVIDIA card or discrete chipset with 4Gb or more of VRAM
At least 16GB of main DRAM.
These stats may change as we continue to test.

To purchase your copy of the City of Titans Launcher, visit our store at https://store.missingworldsmedia.com/ A purchase of $50 or more will give you a link to download the Launcher for Windows or Mac based machines.

"Working on it increases it, as it so happens actually. And on that note, it comes with a price." She takes a moment to lift up her pendant to his line of sight,the scaret gemstone's surface appearing to swirl as she explains.

"This amulet is the only reason I retain my soul, keeps me from burning to ash in the sunlight, and allows me to walk into holy areas with only mild discomfort. From what I know I am still damned to the best of my knowledge whether I save a thousand lives or more, and I am still the target of rogue or uncaring hunters and the malevolent supernatural community. Also, I am doomed to see my friends and allies grow old, wither and die...so it's just as much a curse as it's made out to be." She states, her voice barely above a whisper, her head lowered.

Connor's expression fades away as Natalie lowers her head, and he looks away with a quiet sigh. "Wickets live longer than usual, but that's still not forever," he says before pursing his lips, as if reluctant to continue that train of thought.

Natalia registers the information with a sad nod of her head, before whispering. "Even I won't last forever Connor, but at the very least we should make our time on Earth worth it, wherever we're bound too after." With that in mind, she raises her head to pull him into a kiss, adding with a slowly growing smile.

"And there was also another boon to turning, gaining my skills, and moving here...I met you, Connor."

Connor smiles slightly from the kiss, but it slowly begins to fade afterwards, "I suppose so, but...I just hadn't thought about that part, I suppose." He sighs, and looks away for a moment. "It just feels strange, knowing that there's nothing to be done about it."

Natalia's own face falls as she registers his melancholy state, as she replies quietly. "There are ways, but they aren't worth seeking, my current state of being is one of them. It's a sad thought, but death has to happen eventually Connor, we of all people know best and understand that." She then adds sagely. "The most you can ever ask of yourself in life at the end of your road is how many lives did you aid, and was the mark you left on the world you wanted to be known for, and I intend for my answer to be yes."

Misty had got bored of the play acting and settled again roaming the halls she went in search of Melody. Eventually she found her "Why do I know you? Wait you were at the cemetery that night that.... something happened. Agh so frustrating. Okay you trashed the cops and left then ... something else." Her eyes widen and she went flying out of the room and for the cafeteria not seeing Conner she rushed for the danger rooms. "CONNOR! WICKED DOOR!" Nearly flying into the two "Connor! I think something happened to ... um, er, someone. Well anyway something creepy happened after that Melody chick left the Graveyard several months ago."

Natalia's smile grows a little bit more as well as she adds in reply, curious at his last statement as well. "I wouldn't wish it upon or perform it willingly on you or anyone anyway, all I remember of it was blood curdling agony, venom in my blood, my heart nearly bursting...it was a overload of pain, and that is what 'kills' you. I am content with you as you are Connor, you are enough for me."

She when adds with a blush. "Besides, reproduction between two vampires has ghastly results...I mean not that that is the end goal, but uhm...I can still ah..uhm, well, you know." She huffs in embarrassment, not wanting to say more.

Connor furrows his brow in confusion, frowning. "I don't get what you---sweet JESUS Misty," Connor says, nearly fall backwards off the bench as the ghost girl shoots out of nowhere. He grunts a bit as he pushes himself back into a proper seating position, and holds up both hands as she begins to ramble. "Slow down, Misty, slow, slow down. Take it from the top, what's going on."

"Okay... well I was kind of taking a dirt nap at my grave some months back. When well things got chaotic it was that Melody girl she was at someone's grave when the cops showed up. Then two hero capes did too. Well fight broke up and then fizzled out when Melody and some blockhead got away. Well when things settled I tried to as well. That was when I figured if I just submit to well being ... dead I would fade away or something. Well Then things get fuzzy I can't really remember, but I got all tingly like some heavy duty magic was going on. Someone else was messing with the fresh grave and... Wish I can remember, I met someone. Someone who was worried I think about Melody. Wish I had more it like trying to remember a dream from a few weeks ago."

"No... er well what type of magic would people use in a Graveyard, over a fresh grave? Duh Necromancy. You're the Wicked Door right? Shouldn't you investigate? As for who I met... I really can't recall anything about the person. I'm kind of guessing trying to fill in the blanks. If someone used major magical mojo on a fresh grave, and at the time the freshest grave was Melody's friend's. Her friend might not be all rest in peace as they saying goes." She thought about it "Naw if there was some undead teenager walking around causing harm it would been news."

"Well, I know he spends at least some time checking out Amerikatt sightings, but he doesn't want to be seen as that kind of stalker. And he goes Underhill a lot. Wise Cats are fairly rare in this world and Setzer finds non-sapience to be a bit of a turn-off."

About this time, Toni noticed that Connor and Natalia were talking with, he guessed Misty. So he cast his Spirit Sight spell. "Shall we see what's up?"

Melody gave up on sulking.

Melody gave up on sulking. The room was big enough. Time to do her version of rehab. She locked the classroom door and stripped down. Pushing her clothes to one small locker in the corner of the dance room. She changed the settings on her ipod to play different songs in each ear. She could summon one element to any music, but still required two separate beats to play off dualing elements. Melody opted for Fire and Water. Spinning she unleashed a basketball sized ball of flame that she swung in slow orbit around her near the edges of the room. She spun it faster and faster. The TCPD band prevented her from going big most the time, but it didn't stop her from being deadly. She let the fireball break orbit and hurl straight at her. Just as it would have seared her alive she created a disk of water that spun up her body and out to cut the fire in half. The two smaller fireballs each screamed past her ears as the water created a slice into the ceiling.

Melody concentrated on her mood. 'Make it sharper' 'be calmer' 'don't let the rage take over' These were her mantras as she danced. Fire and water clashed around her. Spiraling bits of flame, steam, and scalding water landing on her and all around. Hoolahoops of water spun fast enough to be stone cutting sharp, Fire burned hot enough to turn blue and white.

This was her life, her universe. Every moment dedicated to revenge. Melody danced on.

Melody went sprawling backwards. That was a close one. She would have a black eye in an hour or two. Well nothing to do about that now. She used her momentary self stunning to switch her tracks. She couldn't do this next part inside, Earth manipulation always made a disaster. ... Well there was that one courtyard.

Melody went to the locker and threw her clothes back on. They were clean and fresh, in contrast, her hair was now disheveled and singe marks spattered across her skin. She wasn't going to go to any real classes today anyway, might as well wreck these freebee clothes.

Mel made her way towards the courtyard.

Currently there is a school production of Wicked being established. Yes, there are painting and sculpture classes, among others. And lastly, Alexandra, her bracelets prevent her from large displays of power, slightly dampening them."

Melody knew she couldn't be

Melody knew she couldn't be expelled unless she got hit for aggravated assault. The conditions of her probation were outstandingly lax. She knew plenty of degenerates and none got off the hook the way she had. Well if she was going to be stuck here, she was going to make it painful for whatever heartbleed had gotten her sent here.

Melody entered the courtyard and chucked to herself. Deftly she sidestepped a few times. With each step a slab of rock raised just high enough to wedge the doors of the courtyard shut. Couldn't hurt anyone if no one could enter and better yet... couldn't be stopped from causing a bit of destructive training by some wanna be misreading what she was doing.

She started to move. It looked like a relaxed Samba. Hunks of earth, from baseball to beachball sized lifted into the air. She sent them a few stories into the air. She made her movements faster. The rocks trembled and violently launched higher and began to free fall.

Melody tumbled and vaulted. When she couldn't avoid she would lash out and unleash a screamingly sharp gust of wind to blow apart the rubble.

She repeated this process every thirty seconds. Within a few minutes she was panting and the courtyard looked like Lou Ferigno had been playing golf with dynamite

Melody's destructive dance would be interrupted by the harsh tone of ESSI, who manifests within the middle of the courtyard in a cobalt haze, as she warns.

"Meoldy Ritters, cease at once, and revert the damage to the courtyard, or you will be detained." She reverberates her voice about the entire area in an attempt to catch her attention, knowing from reports upon her that she was difficult to interrupt when moving.

Melody grinned. She could cause enough damage in 1 minute to take normies days to clean up. Chances are the caretaker of this freak show would be some mumbojumbo user so Mel didn't sweat that she was actually making anyone do any real work by being a thorn.

"Ms. Ritter is allowed to defend herself from capture or detainment by anyone other than TCPD as per statute four clause three of her parole." Melody was technically correct, but obviously abusing the spirit of the clause. The clause existed so she could defend herself from capture by any organization that might exploit her, not so she could be a jackass at school.

Melody let the rubble finish falling. "You do it." She marched off to find some place else to be. School for the gifted, don't let her harmlessly use her gifts. Fine.

ESSI gives off a perturbed echoy sigh, before beginning to do so, utilizing stasis fields to maneuver the pieces of rock and rubble back into their proper places, recording the incident for reference in the future.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Exiting the courtyard, Melody would catch the sight of a radiant and toned boy sitting upon a bench looking into the courtyard, clearly having watched the display. Turning to face the musical elementalist, he is clad within a black and emerald 'Edentech is WRONG' t-shirt, a pair of tan shaded jeans, and simple brown boots. With caramel shaded hair in neat waves about his head, his overall appearance is attractive, with a pair of pale, gazecatching blue eyes with flecks of emerald in the iris, it becomes just as curious as his infallible smile.

Grinning, he remarks softly, just enough for her to hear, as his presence radiates a warm feeling of blooming energy. "Hi, I'm Garret, Garret Woods. I liked your show." He states, not in a teasing or insincere manner.

Nick's limo pulls up to the school just in time for him to catch a small glimpse of Melody's actions. He shakes his head a bit and steps out with cane in hand, the limo driver quickly turning off the CD player which was, before arrival, blaring Pharrell's "Happy". Nick sighs a bit and walks from the parking lot to the front office looking like some out of place aristocrat from the 19th century.

Rendering himself invisible except to those that could see ghosts, he begins to wander through the school, looking for Melody and hoping that the others were right to give her the benefit of the doubt.

Misty was really trying to

Misty was really trying to resist the urge to use the stone pebbles and chuck them at Melody. "What did she saw in her... wait who is she?" Shakes her head hating the foggy gaps in her memory. "How can I not remember something? I'm a ghost!" Sighing she drifted through the door shadowing Melody. "Oh like that guys shirt."

Garrett blinks for a moment as he senses a area devoid of life near Misty's position due to her presence, feeling the antithesis of what he thrives on as he shudders, calling out. "H-hello?"

Since Melodys ghost sensing

Since Melodys ghost sensing amounted to about half an episode of ghost hunters she figured Garrett had been talking to her. "Don't go all stutter-tard just because your little hipster thing doesn't do it for me." Melody faced the boy. "Alright vegan john, where are the science classes? I figure you avoid them, but that means you know where they are. I need some egghead to take this stupid thing off." Melody shook her wrist. While she wasn't saying much that was nice, she was at least not being aggressive or dismissive, for the moment.

Garrett couldn't help but

Garrett couldn't help but roll his eyes at the idea of being dreaded hipster, one of the labels he hate being thrown under due to his actions and appearance, coupled with being seen as gay, even though he had no personal grief with either group. Shaking his head, he can't stop the attractive and nondismissive snark in his voice as he replied, sensing a challenge.

"Now, being a hipster, wouldn't it be too mainstream for met to concede to your wishes, little miss Samba?" Now, two could play at this game, a mischievous smile offered before adding. "And why do you need it off, uhm...?" He apparently fished for a name, but already knew he she was and what she had done. While not feeling scared or threatened, he was certainly curious at just what she'd reveal.

However, he also recalled being yelled at by the cold, lifeless presence near him, gradually seeing a outline of the ghostly shape, curious as to what she would say next as well, not replying to her just yet, simply tossing a smile in her direction, subconsciously exuding attractive pheromones at the attention he was receiving.

"You smell like patchouli, call me Ritter, because I want it off, and if you don't mainstream your next comment I will burn down every garden I see on this stupid campus." Melody wasn't trying to be mean, but whatever this dude smelled of was basically making her hate rage all over him.

Garrett blinked at the sudden hostility, now suddenly and unknowingly broadcasting pheromones that make him appear more attractive to stymie the anger. However, this did nothing to quell Garrett's own as she threatened nature, by extension him and others.

"Personally I think and prefer the scent of thyme, as in it's time for you to calm it, curb the rather unattractive, before you actually try spitting fire. And maybe, just maybe I will lead you to those eggheads. Got it, Melody?" He inquires the last bit not challengingly, but to see if she would calm down.

While he was prepared to if absolutely nessecary to fight her, he'd defend himself if he had to. Melody would also note that the flora within the courtyard, all the vines near the window adjacent to them quiver in anticipation.

Nick stands in the front office tapping his foot impatiently as he waits for Mrs. Ellis while a myriad of thoughts on how to deal with Melody run through his mind. Such destructive power would make her a perfect asset to the Nightmare. But controlled chaos would be more beneficial to the heroes.. hmmm..

"We will be stationed overseeing the children and their performence with a guest, their combat instructor." She curtly states, before adding. "Oh, and hello Nick."

"So annoying. Be lucky I am

"So annoying. Be lucky I am on strike two kid" Melody clenched her jaw, he already knew her name, so asking it was facetious. Plants wouldn't exactly be that big of a deal for her. Not like a troublesome psychic or various barrier projection supers. Sadly she was currently at a disadvantage, the stupid bracelet kept her trump cards locked tight. She couldn't create her massive elemental storms without channeling serious emotions into it... which set the bracelet off. She wasn't about to get tazed just to watch this kid cry over some rose petals.

"You can go help that computer thing." Melody moonwalked away sticking her tongue out. Each slide causing an identical and impractically large rend in the courtyard. The rocks shifting to her unseen control. Nothing dead, just very very disorganized. "Oh... and I do breath fire." With that Mel rounded the corner to go find someone else slightly less annoying to direct her to where she wanted to go. She made a mental note to ruin that kids day... often.

As Mel rounded the corner,

As Mel rounded the corner, she almost ran into the tall and lanky form of Mr Al-Zawari. He had his arms crossed over his chest and was glaring down at her. "Ms. Ritter! You will turn around, go back to the Courtyard, and fix all the damage you have so childishly caused. Your parole officer will be contacted about your behavior this morning and I will be recommending that the settings on your suppression band be increased, cutting off your abilities completely. You obviously do not possess the emotional or mental maturity to be trusted with such power."

He then calmly waited for her to comply.

Garrett simply shook his head

Garrett simply shook his head at Misty's words, cursing himself as he realized that Misty could clearly not be seen by Melody, meaning he now had a powerful murderous and talented former villianess as an enemy.

On his FIRST day. Groaning in frustration, he simply scowls in Misty's direction before trudging towards the courtyard, wrapping a series of anaconda like vines about the a rockslab near the entrances and crushing it into a fine powder, reflecting his distress and anger. Entering the middle of the courtyard, he simply tried to relax as he laid upon a bench, soaking in the Sun, as slowly, but surely, the Courtyard was reset to a normal appearence thanks ESSI's stasis abilities.

"Sorry I did try to warn you. I'm the local ghost here at the school. Kind of random chance they tore down my old haunt to build the place so I was here before the school was." She looked in the direction of Melody went "Out of all the students she worries me. Oh I don't mind some bad apples, but she's all scrambled up inside." Misty heard Al-Zawari then went into the courtyard she figure she haunt Melody later. "Nice shirt by the way."

"That would be a negative, on

"That would be a negative, on all fronts. Rare form striking out on everything you said in one go. Not even your band of merry misfits said something so stupid. Yeah fully suppress the abilities of a teen girl who has a bounty on her head by a known criminal organization, brilliant! Maybe you can save them the time of invading this hellhole once they find out I'm here and just try to off me yourself? At least the IFRIT used my abilities for something useful."

This would mark the most Melody had said to any one person. She was in rare form today. Her mood was so sour because the one person she had tried to be friendly to today had run off screaming. She had actually enjoyed juvi and rehabilitation. Sure the kids at juvi had massive issues. Most were some varying degree of criminal behavior that landed them there. She was one of the few that had actually killed someone. She had the highest kill count of anyone her age she knew who wasn't in an adult facility. This was in stark contrast to the rahab facility. Most of those occupants were the victims of super fights. She was a killer, but the thing that had taken out her friends, her unit, that thing was an alpha predator.

Melody was tired of losing friends. First Sam was shot, her Russian friend was on the run for just helping her. After she had been separated from him she had managed to get in with the IFRIT. Low level work, but they were accepting. They appreciated her talent. They even took a few jobs that put them in direct conflict with the Aether Pirates. Melody smiled to herself at the memory of her unit ambushing a group of pirates leaving none of them alive. Her face quickly soured again. It was only a few weeks later that the red wolf had torn through her friends. She had no idea how many had survived, she barely had. These kids wouldn't survive, Melody wasn't about to get to know these future corpses.

Melody realized she had gotten lost in thought, something she didn't do often. Memories were painful. "Shove it old man." Mel deftly sidestepped and continued her self exploration of the school.

Pardon me, add a fourth day for showing extreme disrespect to a staff member. She will only be released during school hours when she is willing to help repair any damage she has caused to the school grounds. And she will be carefully monitored during those times." Mr. Al-Zawari said into the air as the girl walked away.

Melody smiled at ESSI. "Well I did warn you." Something was very off with the smile.

The girl started screaming (in perfect pitch). She was smashing her head against the force bubble. By the second one she had split her face open. Small swirls of razor sharp wind contained within the bubble lacerated her flesh. Larger gusts furthering to throw her against the bubble.

If the bubble wasn't released within a few moments Melody very well could kill herself.

ESSI blinked in alarm and immediately dispersed the bubble, as the superhuman guards stationed outside rushed into the room, each gifted with superhuman strength, as they hold down her arms and legs, not painfully, but enough so she cannot move. Noting the girl's wounds, ESSI wastes no time in broadcasting into the intercom to request the presence of the metahuman nurse.

"Nurse Ward, we have immediate need of you within the power suppression room!"

-------------------------------------------------------

Garrett blinks as he hears the request for the nurse, before noting with a start that's where Misty was headed. Not knowing if she managed to hurt herself or others, he raced towards the suppression room. Spotting Melody's wounds, he instantly rushes forward, as he inquires to her.

"I can heal you, but we need to move outside of the room, and I need your permission...do I?" He inquires, hoping to put this behind them, and to stabilize former teen juvenile delinquent.

"Rage issues." Melody

Melody thought inside her own head, since apparently she wasnt the only current occupant
"Rage issues." Melody actually told the truth.
"Or maybe that escalating violence used against me despite me having not actually hurt a single person? I now have no real reason not to hurt someone if provoked. We both know everyone in high school gets provoked. I'm not even angry. If I was angry the stupid bracelet would go off rendering me rather puddle of shocked on the floor. So instead of trusting that I don't actually want to go to prison, and noting I had not in fact done anything more bothersome that talk back and dig some holes in the ground. When you know... students come landing in leaving fucking craters in the front lawn or possessing them without permission or causing unwanted vegitative growth, or whatever else the freak jobs here can do... but nah I am the one sent to this room. Just remember, if I wanted these jerks dead I would start a fire inside their lungs."

Outside her head...
Melody squirmed and mumbled. Apparently that was enough to do what she wanted. She stuck her tongue out at the two men as very cold water began to form inside their underpants Not a lot, just enough to get that gross squishy feel.

"It's quite alright, Janet.

"It's quite alright, Janet. Tensions rise with temperature."

Nick muses for a second and stares out at the students, his gaze not leaving them for a second.

"They seem to think highly of you. That and the circumstances surrounding them is what creates the bond I noticed. It's a perfect framework for a team, but that's all it is: a framework. They need more than just guidance, they need experience and purpose. If our program can get off the ground, it'd be the necessary catalyst to ensure your students don't make those fatal mistakes."

He grins to Ellis. "And that's why I want to pair them up as sidekicks for more established heroes."

Janet can't help but share

Janet can't help but share the man's smile. He may be a pompous asshat sometimes, but she wasn't the easiest person to work with either.

"I think that's an excellent idea, so long as it won't detract from their socialization with their peers to limit alienation and their tenure here."

----------------------------------

Garrett takes that as a yes and frankly doesn't want to risk her chances of surviving or recovery, and allows the now awkwardly walking guards to take her gently out of the supression room, not as a prisoner or detainee, but a injured student. Placing her gently upon a bench, he immediately sets to work, his entire body humming and pulsing with verdant energy like a audible, steady heartbeat as he wills his own lifeforce to seal her cuts and wounds.

While not a skilled or trained medic, he would have been able to heal about two thirds of the damage before drawing back, weak himself. His tone is strained, yet cordial and concerned.

"Melody, you alright, can you hear me?" He doesn't seem to care or mind the slight trickle of blood running from his nose.

Melody was rather distracted.

Melody was rather distracted. She was only half paying attention to what was going on outside her head. She wasn't exactly pleased to not be a gross bloody mess, she had done it on purpose. She wasn't angry that her face wouldn't scar though, so there was that. She had never been very obsessed with her looks. the doctor was more afraid to tell her about the supernatural scars the wolf had left from her shoulder to kidneys than he was to tell her that half her friends had died. Luckily for her she was so drugged up on painkillers during that bit of news her lack of a reaction let the doctors put in place the narrative that saved her some jail time. Melody went with it. Her surviving friends would understand that her out and on the streets faster would do them more good than her telling the truth. That she had loved her time with the IFRIT. She was a superstar in her unit. They could lay down so much actual fire all she had to do was bend and twist it to the jobs need. Lost in self thought again....

'Well you are going to have to figure out a different way to talk to me. but hey you are dead, at least when I do finally get ambushed you won't be one of the casualties.' Melody did a more in brain thought. She had no idea what was public in her head to this thing and what was private.

Outside her head Melodys face was an unreadable mask. "The only way they are getting me in that room is if they kill me." Melody said a lot of sarcastic over the top teen angst driven things, that had been most of her first few hours in the school. A rather dedicated effort to make everyone dislike her. This was not one of those times. Her voice was ice. "So you have yourselves a dilemma, either let me go back to class, in which case I win, and you cannot punish me. Or kill me, in what will probably be a far more interesting fight than whatever happened yesterday. Though I doubt it will stand for good PR. TCPD's charity case teenager murdered by staff on her first day of school after she kicked up some dirt in a courtyard." Melody smiled. Her teeth still caked in blood. She didn't really enjoy the taste, so coppery, she wanted to go brush. "So what'll i be Lou? Will you let me use the school Lou? Cuz you know the news wont be fair about whatever happens here."

When Melodys private file was transferred over two days before her arrival it had a few highlighted notes within the several pages of information. Sadly it had not been looked at yet by the administration. Schools were busy, and they had suffered a recent attack.

The paper file marked "Melody Ritter" lay atop a stack of 'must reads' just in site of Nick.

*clarity edit: public file is totally accessible to ESSI and staff. Private file is on paper only and was transferred at some point the day before the school attack.

Mr. Al-Zawari had escorted

Mr. Al-Zawari had escorted Melody to the suspension room, so he was on hand for her little tirade. It was times like this that he was glad he'd undergone the extra training and counseling by the School Board. The end result of the training was that he was allowed to use his powers in a limited fashion for enforcing school rules. He looked at Melody and she was surrounded by an invisible field of telekinetic energy that kept her completely immobilized. He righted her so that she was basically in a standing position, then floated her over to where he was standing.

"Very well, I suppose we have no choice but to entertain the whims of the extremely immature and borderline psychotic teenager. Or, we could simply report to the TCPD that this arrangement is not going to work, which the staff of JDHS can do should you continue to be disruptive and a danger to other students or yourself. At that point, I have no idea what the TCPD will do with you. Understand this, Ms. Ritter. You are NOT in charge here. You do NOT have us over a barrel. You do NOT and will not ever win as long as you continue to pitch childish temper tantrums. We hold your fate at this school in our hands and will exercise that control if you force us to. Do I make myself completely clear, Ms. Ritter?"

"Report it!" Well that is

"Report it!" Well that is what Melody tried to say. It came out more like "Reffett let" Accompanied by an eyeball nod. She mentally agreed that her temper wouldn't let her win. Not with the stupid bracelet. Melody thought about wiggling her tongue and lighting this jerks hair on fire... but it didn't fit her narrative. She had accomplished her day one goals in about half a day. Staff already wanted her out. A few weeks of this and someone would HAVE to do something. Something would crack somewhere, she would find the truth. Where was Sam when she needed her. Sam would do this the smart way. Melody wasn't that level of smart. She would have to blunt force trauma the truth out... and then light it up.

"Totuffy undershtnd sher" Melody counldnt nod. "I'rll berh've"

Mr. Al-Zawari released her then. "Very good. Please see your way to your first class. ESSi can guide you if you get lost. Have a nice day, Ms. Ritter. Thank you for your assistance, Mr. Woods." he said, nodding to both students and then heading off around the corner.

Putting yourself in another persons shoes emotionally is something that everyone has to experience eventually. It's part of learning to be a human being. Roleplayers do it for fun.

It had been quite some time

It had been quite some time before the others were due to report in for training at the Danger Room, which could only mean, at least in Alicia's mind, that there was something more important going on somewhere else. Brow slightly furrowed, she made her way out into the school, noticing nothing particularly amiss until she wandered through the self-repairing courtyard. Frowning, she quickens her pace, making her way through the hallways nearby, until she comes to a stop at the scene just outside the power suppression room.

"Is everything alright here," she asks, the sternness of her voice phrasing her words as more of a demand, rather than a question.

Portia had decided to give

Portia had decided to give Connor and Natalia a little time to themselves, so she'd continued sitting in the cafeteria and drinking her coffee after they had walked off. When it was only a few minutes until time for the mentoring program to start, she crumpled up her cup and swished it into the can from twenty feet away. She then strolled into the gym and made a beeline to the Danger Room, plunking down onto the bleachers beside Natalia. "Soooo... is he a good kisser?" she asked with a sly grin.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A tall, fit woman with cropped brunette hair and a steely blue gaze walked into the office. She moved with the grace and assuredness of someone with a supreme level of body control. She stopped at the desk and waited for one of the secretaries to notice her. Once they did, one of them approached her. "Yes ma'am, can I help you?"

She spoke with a friendly Kentish accent. "Hello. My name is Roxanne Smythe-Graeme (pr. Graham). I was hired by Ms. Janet Ellis to be one of the instructors for the new student mentoring program. Could you direct me to where I am supposed to go, please?"

Toni noticed Portia heading out. "Looks like it's time for mentoring." He stood and offered a hand to Rose.

Natalia blushes at the

Natalia blushes at the question, taking a moment to respond, her confidence briefly faltering. "Uhm yes, very good...why?" She clearly is not accustomed to 'girl-talk'.

---------------------------------------------

The receptionist replies deftly. "In the Gym ma'am, the Danger Room more specifically. ESSI will be leading you to your destination!"

----------------------------------------------------

Garrett takes a moment to smile sheepishly to Alicia, before stating, deciding she did not need to know the WHOLE story yet. "Melody had harmed herself when she needed to be placed in the suspension room, the situation is resolved. For now, I'm going to be leading her to the science hall...right?" He hopes will go with this, as he has no intention of being her enemy.

------------------------------------

Rose grins as she takes Toni's hand, greeting him with a kiss as they walk. "And promise not to do anything stupid to try and impress me?"

"Nothing stupid, I hope. It's gonna take something clever to impress you, isn't it?" Toni snapped his fingers and his superhero attire replaced the tight jeans and shirt. A mask suitable for Mardi Gras completed the look. "And for you?"

"you're not fooling me. Your lonely, but don't want to be hurt by having friends so you push them away. I know I did the same, look where it got me. Well I be seeing you." She then left Melody and headed out to check out this group the principal is setting up.

Personal rules of good roleplay
1.) Nothing goes as planned.
2.) If it goes as planned it's not good RP

Rose chuckles as he speaks,

Rose chuckles as he speaks, watching him transform curiously, before pinching the edges of the mask. "Is that for me, Toni? You shouldn't have!" She grins, before adding. "I have yet to actually get a costume, a shame...Elia should be helping me look, actually."

Alicia's look remains stern

Alicia's look remains stern as she peers down at the student on the ground before looking back at Garrett. "Regardless of your abilities, a certified physician should look her over for the sake of thoroughness and safety," she states blankly, unmoving from her position.

"And that would be me." Comes

"And that would be me." Comes the warm reply of the school nurse, who approaches Garrett first, treating the bloody nose from a result of overextending himself to heal Melody, before moving to finish healing the said girl, as she inquires.

"Do you think you are fine, now?"

"Oh yeah, straight to class I

"Oh yeah, straight to class I go."
Melody exited stage nearest hallway.
'Two strength based guards, AI system with moderate stasis, teacher with external stasis, student with incorporeal form, student with plant control and life siphoning, student with water control.' Melody made mental notes about what she had run into so far on her first day of her long con. 'The hipster and ghost seem pliable.'

The girl smiled to herself as she randomly walked down hallways. She had no idea what classes she was supposed to go to, she had never grabbed her schedule from the office, not that she would have gone if she knew about it. "I'll just go back to my dance studio" Mel spoke to herself. She was in a rather good mood. She had no injuries, everyone thought she was a dangerous psychopath, and she had avoided being in any actual trouble while still pissing a ton of people off. If her being confronted by authority resulted in catastrophe, well authority would soon start ignoring her so long as she just left people alone. She wanted to avoid hurting these civilians if she could, but something wasn't right about her capture, her trial, or her punishment. None of it added up and she needed enough breathing room to cause the right kind of trouble.

Toni duplicated the mask in pink and gold rather than the blue and gold of his. "Something to start with, at least for today."

Alicia calmly watches as Melody walks off, making no effort to follow her or persuade her to the contrary.

"I doubt that response was acceptable," she says calmly after a moment of silence, before looking to the nurse behind her, "are you going to ensure that she is alright?"
